Brian Gutiérrez scores in 87th, Fire beat St. Louis 3-2, extend unbeaten streak to 5 games
CHICAGO (AP) — Brian Gutiérrez scored in the 87th minute Saturday night, Hugo Cuypers and Philip Zinckernagel also scored goals, and the Chicago Fire beat St. Louis City 3-2 to extend its unbeaten streak to five games. Gutiérrez rolled a shot from well outside the area inside the right post to cap the scoring. Chris Brady had two saves for Chicago (11-9-6). Andrew Gutman, on the counter-attack, ran onto a long ball played ahead by Gutiérrez and bent a low cross from the left side to Cuypers for a first-touch finish from near the penalty spot to open the scoring in the 18th minute. Cuypers has 15 goals this season and became the fourth player in club history to accomplish the feat and the first since Nemanja Nikolić in 2018. Tomas Ostrak scored his first goal of the season to make it 1-1 in the 47th minute. After a failed clearance attempt, Ostrak flicked a left-footer from the center of the area inside the left post. Marcel Hartel gave St. Louis (5-15-6) a 2-1 lead in the 59th minute when he stopped a cross played from the right side of the area by Ostrak and blasted a shot into the top-net from near the left corner of the 6-yard box. Zinckernagel, on the counter-attack, outraced a defender to the edge of the penalty area, cutback to evade another defender and then rolled in a shot to make it 2-2 in the 67th. The opening kickoff, which had originally been set for 7:30 p.m. local time, was delayed about 90 minutes due to inclement weather in the area. ___ AP soccer:

Bakrar, Wolf score goals to help NYCFC beat short-handed Fire 3-1
NEW YORK (AP) — Mounsef Bakrar and Hannes Wolf each scored a second-half goal to help New York City FC beat the short-handed Chicago Fire 3-1 on Sunday. After a failed clearance by the Fire, Wolf ran onto a loose ball in the left side of the area, cut back to the middle and bent a shot inside the back post to give NYCFC (7-5-3) a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute. Advertisement New York City has won back-to-back games and is unbeaten in three straight. On the counter-attack, Jonathan Dean dropped a passed backward to Philip Zinckernagel for a first-touch finish from the top of the penalty arc to open the scoring in the 19th minute. Brian Gutiérrez was shown a straight red card (violent conduct) in the 31st minute and the Fire (5-5-4) played a man down until Dje D'Avilla — who replaced the injured Mauricio Pineda in the 41st — was shown his second yellow card in the 84th minute. Bakrar started the second half in place of 18-year-old Jonathan Shore and scored in the 58th minute to make it 1-1. Wolf chipped a pass over a defender to Justin Haak, who played a low cross to Bakrar for a one-touch finish from point-blank range. Advertisement Alonso Martínez converted from the penalty spot to cap the scoring in the 89th. NYCFC had 64% possession and outshot the Fire 21-8, 8-3 on target. Matt Freese stopped two shots for New York City. Chris Brady finished with five saves for the Fire. Chicago, which had won back-to-back games, had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped. ___ AP soccer:
